Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Mafia's mistress (His temptation) : Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 209

Damian walked quietly down the hallway, his footsteps barely making a sound. The weight of the past few hours hung heavy on his shoulders, but he couldn’t bring himself to sit alone in his study any longer. He needed to see Aurora. She was his light in the midst of his darkness, the one person who had the power to ease his restless mind.He gently pushed open the door to their bedroom and stepped inside. The soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the room, casting a warm light over Aurora as she lay sound asleep on the bed. Their baby was nestled beside her, wrapped snugly in a soft blanket, her tiny chest rising and falling with each breath.Damian’s lips curled into a small smile as he approached them. He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to Aurora’s forehead, his hand brushing a strand of hair from her face. She stirred slightly but didn’t wake. Carefully, he climbed into bed beside her, the mattress dipping under his weight.As soon as he settled, Aurora’s eyes fluttered op

Damian sat in the living room with Aurora, his hand gently brushing through her hair as she rested her head on his shoulder. The baby was asleep in the crib nearby, and the house was quiet. It was one of those rare peaceful moments he didn’t get often, and he cherished it.His phone buzzed on the coffee table, breaking the calm. Damian sighed, reaching for it. When he saw Carter’s name on the screen, his expression hardened. He kissed Aurora’s forehead and stood.“I need to take this,” he said softly, walking to the other side of the room before answering.“Carter,” Damian said, his tone sharp. “What’s going on?”“I’ve got him,” Carter replied, his voice smug. “The informant you’ve been looking for. He’s in my custody now.”Damian’s grip on the phone tightened, his eyes narrowing. “Where?” he demanded.“There’s an uncompleted building on the east side of town,” Carter said. “I’ll send you the exact location. But you should know... this wasn’t easy. I had to move fast before he disappe

The banging on the bedroom door grew louder, each slam rattling the furniture Catherine had shoved against it. The baby whimpered in Aurora’s arms, and she rocked her desperately, whispering into her tiny ear, “Shhh… please, baby, please…”“Quiet,” Madam Catherine hissed, pressing her back against the door, her gun trembling in her bleeding hand. Her face was pale, but her eyes burned with focus.Aurora shook her head, tears streaking down her cheeks. “Why? Why are you risking your life for me?” she whispered harshly, her voice cracking. “You’re bleeding… you’ll die because of me.”Catherine’s jaw tightened. She let out a shaky sigh, almost a laugh, but filled with pain. “Because Damian’s always been good to me,” she said, eyes flicking to the door that threatened to burst open at any moment. “He’s the reason I’m still alive. I owe him. Protecting you and that baby… it’s my way of saying thank you.”Aurora blinked at her, confused. “What do you mean? What exactly did he protect you fr

Just as Aurora whispered her apology to Luna, the heavy iron door swung open again. The room chilled.Ryker strolled in, his hands buried deep in his pockets, his steps calm, like he had all the time in the world. His eyes locked on Aurora, and a slow smirk spread across his face.He pulled out his phone. “Time to call your savior,” he said coldly. “Better tell him to come get you… or else you won’t last long.”Aurora’s heart hammered as she clutched Luna tighter.Ryker dialed. The line rang once before Damian’s voice came through.“I assume you know who’s talking,” Ryker drawled before Damian could speak. Then he pressed the phone against Aurora’s ear.Aurora gasped. “Damian! It’s me—” her words tumbled out in a rush, her voice breaking. “Luna and Catherine are in bad shape, Damian—” But before she could say more, Ryker yanked the phone away.“Well, Damian,” he sneered, “I guess we’ll meet again. If you really want to save your dear woman, head straight to Blackwood Warehouse, Pier
